Sean Strickland is in the news again… This time, talking in an interview with the Kairouz Bros, the former UFC middleweight champion claimed that he felt pressured into taking the rematch with Dricus du Plessis at UFC 312, a rematch for the belt that the South African beat Strickland for previously.
Sean Strickland claimed that despite the fact that he ‘broke’ his shoulder, the UFC insisted that he took the bout, which ultimately led to a 0-2 record against du Plessis. Stickland stated:
“Before the Dricus fight, I was f*cking riding with Axell Hodges (a motocross athlete) and I broke my shoulder”, claims the former middleweight champ.
